Snowbirds down

Hi Gary

Not certain but I believe that they were flying the Tudors.
I saw references in the media about the traditional colours on the
wreckage, and also questions raised about the age of the aircraft.
What does age of the aircraft have to do with it - except to the media?
The way they are inspected and parts replaced no one can fault their
maintenance.
We have had several visits to Kelowna of the new turbine powered Harvard
trainer (which we all thought was a Pilatus - cool aircraft) but they
were all dark blue/black..
I'm just hoping now that they allow the Snowbirds to keep flying.

I just saw the news of a loss of one of our snowbirds during a training
excersise near Moose Jaw. It is truly a sad day, I have grown to love the
snowbirds.
The downed pilot was from Tswassen (sp) a few minutes drive from my home. My
condolences go out to his family.
From the video footage of the crash site I am guessing that they were not
flying the tutor jet that they normaly fly at airshows but rather this new
turbine powerd Harvard trainer that I have seen in a video.

Soon to be pilot (soon)
